In the coming days I hope to delve deep into the guts of Microsoft's new OS but I've tried to put together a decent overview of what Windows Vista is all about."

Member since:

Will I be able to have my Classic theme without transparency, Cleartype and other crap?

They should separate core from services like WinFX, WinFS and whatever WinXX they have from shell. I might want new core, new dev tools or better networking. But I want my classic snappy desktop from NT4.0 / Win95 (no integrated MSIE, which flickers all over the way on a slower video card).

I am using Win2K and all in all it is the best Windows ever made. If MS won't backport WinFX to Win2K, I will run Java apps instead of WinFX apps, whatever.
